Their departure from this place is re-
GREETED by many.
Alice Hogaboom rejoined the show
with which she has been travelling the
latter part of last week. California
will probably welcome their presence
during the coming winter.
A long tight fence has been erected
along the depot walk to prevent snow
drifts the coming winter. To the
stranger it would appear that some
circus was about to visit the place and
had just put up their bill boards.
Albert Whitcomb is getting large
number of turkeys ready for the
Thanksgiving market. Mcfarland &
Child, through their agent, w. D.
Isham, are also taking a hand in the
market, Notwithstanding their kerr
lunker" of last year.
Remember the camp fire to be given
by Aaron Keller Post at North Hyde
Park next Wednesday evening, Oct.

addresses. Other speakers will also
be present, and a good time may be
expected. Proceeds for benefit of
hall fund.
Ninety-fve cents per 100 pounds
was the price paid for September milk
at the creamery. For October the
price is to be $1.00. This is a good
price and of course pleases the patrons
immensely. The milk of about 200
COWS is now being received. We I'M
derstand the establishment will close
the season November 1st. AS gen.
eral thing the affair has proven sue
cess this season, and the farmers have
received the highest market price for
their milk and have been fairly dealt
with. We have no doubt that next
year the patronage will be largely in
| creased.
The lecture committee had another
meeting last Friday evening. A paper
was drawn up and it was decided to
submit the same to our townspeople
for signatures during the present week.
We are pleased to announce that with
but few exceptions there has been a
hearty response and already many
names have been subscribed. 1t is
hoped that by the last Of the week
enough names will have been secured
to guarantee a successful course. DO
not wait 10 be called upon, but see
either of the following persons and
have your name put on the list: Col.
E. B. Sawyer, President; j. w. Red
mond, Secretary; H. NJ. Mcfarland,
Treasurer. 1t is proposed to have four
lectures and one concert. Season
tickets, S1.O0; single admission, 25c.
They had Tug of War at the
Orleans county fair, and as the people
of our county are somewhat interested
in this sport we publish an account of
it as taken from the Orleans County
| Monitor -
The Tug of War" made more sport
than any one small matter during the
day. A grass rope had been procured
and knOtted up for twenty men, but, as
| the pull was to be made, great crowd
| j
! that the attempt to put ten men on a
side proved failure, and when the word
| to pull was given there were as many on
each side of the rope as could pull on it
while many others seized hold of those
on the rope, and it was one crowd against
| the other. The Samsons," made up OF
Barton boys chiefly, didn't have quite sc
| big a crowd pulling with them as hitcheC
on the other side. and were getting rather
the worst of it, when the rope broke anC
they sat down on the ground with more
violence than grace.
They have a set of platform trucks
at the depot-we mean that kline
which are unable to stand alone. When
placed up against building they ap-
pear as innocent and harmless as a
lamb. But woe to the person who at
tempts to scrape acquaintance with
them by leaning back against them,
or in any way comes IN close
proximity thereto; they always make
their presence known and never fail, mol
perform their business in any half way
manner. The number of small boy:
they have unceremoniously compelled
to sit down is legion and they have
also caused many men to suddenly
turn their toes upward. We do no
know whether the said trucks are O
any use or not, but we do know the,
are the cause of considerable merri
ment whenever victim is ''taken in,
and will continue to occupy place Oh
/, the platform as long as an unsuspect
ING party can be found. 2. 81
